The autumn drizzle falls lightly and densely on your face and body, bringing a slight coolness and comfort.
On the purple lake that seemed to have no end, Wei An was holding his brother's hand and skipping along the stone path.
The golden fallen leaves were blown down by the wind and quietly hid in Wei An's dark hair, trying to avoid the fate of falling to the ground. Wei An blinked his blue eyes when he noticed it. He let go of his brother's hand and reached over his head to take the leaf down based on his sense.
"Brother, look." He handed the leaf to his brother. The veins of the leaf were clearly visible under the sunlight. "This leaf is very beautiful."
Quan Yan took the leaf from his hand and examined it carefully. "Well, such strange veins are indeed very beautiful and rare."
Seeing that they were all looking at the leaf, the foolish Quan Gu also leaned over to look, and the low growl from his throat seemed to be responding to Wei'an's words.
Wei An smiled with his eyes curved after receiving the affirmation, squatted down and gently placed the leaves in the lake. Golden fallen leaves floated on the purple lake, like a rose meeting the morning dew, bringing out each other's beauty to the extreme.
The lake is so clear that you can see the bottom. You can clearly see the tiny stones and water plants on the bottom of the lake. Occasionally, you can even see the unique silver fish swimming through the cracks in the stones and grass.
This lake and island were Vian's sixth birthday present.
In the very center of the island there is a tree so big that it can shelter the entire island, and the treetops are hung with black, palm-sized feathers.
Wei An held the hands of his two brothers and came under the tree. He looked up at the feathers rustling in the wind among the treetops.
Those were the wishes and expectations of his male father, female father, brothers and female uncles.
Thinking of this, Wei An took out the wooden pieces imitating feathers that he had carved stroke by stroke from the space. Since there were no feathers on his wings, he could only use the wooden pieces to protect them.
He sat on brother Quan Gu's shoulders and stretched out his arms to hang the wood chips on the branches.
The drizzle mixed with the sunlight fell sporadically through the treetops onto his tender face, and just looking at it made me feel warm in my heart.
After hanging it up, Wei An smiled with his eyebrows curved. On the wooden piece were written his wishes for his male father, female father, brother and female uncles.
Wei'an is growing up healthily, and the male father, female father, brothers and female uncles also need to be well, fight the war and come back healthy.
"Does Wei'an miss his father?" Quan Yan said, touching his head.
"I thought about it." Wei An said crisply.
"Then do you hope that your father will come back?" he asked while sitting cross-legged on the tree roots.
In fact, when he asked this question, he already had the answer in his mind, so he must have been thinking about it.
Wei'an was raised by his father Xiong little by little since he was a child. When he just hatched, they were inseparable. His father Xiong fed him several meals of milk a day by hand.
We even started sleeping in separate rooms when we were over five years old.
How could I not miss this relationship that has never been separated?
This way of raising cubs is rare among Zerg, even for male cubs.
"I don't want to." Wei An shook his head unexpectedly.
"Why?" he asked in surprise.
"Because Father Xiong is very happy." Father Xiong was really happy when he flew the mecha again in the sky that night.
Wei An couldn't describe the feeling yet, but at that time he felt as if his father was glowing, and he could feel the joy from the inside out even when he was looking up at the sky.
"And the fathers of many of the males in the class also went to the battlefield. Xingxing said that's because the battlefield needs male insects and fathers."
"Because this evil thing called EY substance will make the female insects on the battlefield lose their minds and turn into insect beasts, so male insects are needed to appease them."
"Although we have mental suppressors, the number is still too small. After giving a small amount to the male insect uncles whose mental power has reached the limit and whose bodies are about to collapse, the remaining majority is still far from enough even if all are used to supply the male insects on the battlefield."
"Before there were not enough mental suppressors to supply all the male insect uncles on the battlefield, when Wei An was still young and could not go to the battlefield, the male father was the only male insect who could absorb EY substances without limit and would not cause any damage to his body."
"The military sent an invitation to Xiongfu because of this, in addition to Xiongfu's own excellence."
"There are many female and male fathers of the female and male cubs on the battlefield. The male father also wants to go to the battlefield, but he chooses not to go for the sake of security."
Wei An looked at Zhang Xiaomian seriously and said, "Uncle Yang Xu said that all happiness that escapes responsibility is shallow. It is just a short-lived indulgence. One day, such shallow happiness will rise to a high enough point like a bubble, and it will burst when it is exposed to enough sunlight."
"Weian's father may not go because of regret or unwillingness, but he should go out of responsibility."
"The Zerg's advantage is only temporary. All creatures and races will rebound when they are truly close to death and destruction. Moreover, races like the Palmers who are more cunning will sooner or later cause trouble. So the more advantageous they are, the more careful we must be."
"That's all?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Quan Yan asked.
Wei An thought about it and shook his head with certainty, "No."
"Does Vian know why they are telling you this?"
"I know." He nodded, "They're worried that I'll feel bad."
Quan Yan laughed and held him in his arms, "Do you understand?"
"No." Wei An said honestly.
Hearing his answer, Quan Yan chuckled, "Then why wouldn't you want Father Xiong to come back?"
"Yeah~" Wei An tilted his head, "Because I'm awesome."
Although Quan Yan felt that something was wrong, he couldn't figure out what it was. He could only sigh that it seemed that the backup plan prepared by Xiong's father and others would not be used for the time being.
Not only did he feel something was wrong, but Alhandra who was far away on the cosmic battlefield also felt something was wrong.
During this period, he always felt like something was staring at him when he slept. At first, he thought it was because he was not used to being on the battlefield and was too concerned about maintaining security.
But it's not easy for him to still have this feeling after a month.
A professional female soldier was called in immediately to search his room thoroughly, but nothing was found.
At night, Alhandra, puzzled, sat at the head of the bed with a frown on his brow. When he noticed that gaze again, a sudden idea flashed in his mind.
He stood up from the bed suddenly, his expression serious and his eyes sharp as he shouted, "Elhanvian!"
Wei'an, who had quietly followed Daodao's scent after falling asleep, was frightened by Xiong's father's low shout and revealed his figure.
"…………" Alhandra looked at Vian, who was sitting on the bed in a translucent shape, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
How could he forget that when Wei'an was about two years old, Quan Ci once said that he had seen a translucent Wei'an cub in the military academy dormitory.
They also studied Wei'an's situation at that time, but it was shelved because Wei'an could not speak clearly at that time.
Unexpectedly, he saw this situation with his own eyes today.
The discovered Wei An covered his face and blinked guiltily, trying to get away with it with a soft and sweet tone, "Father Xiong, don't be angry, don't be angry~"
Elhandra tried to maintain his composure, his tone still stern, "Do you know that the battlefield is very dangerous?"
Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Wei An's tears quickly filled up, and in a blink of an eye, big tears began to fall, "I, I know the battlefield is dangerous... wuwu, but I miss Father Xiong so much... Father Xiong, please don't be mean to Wei An... Wei An is uncomfortable wuwu..."
Seeing his pitiful and tearful appearance, Alhandra could no longer be strict. He could only compromise and sit on the bed helplessly, cross-legged and hold him in his arms to coax him, "Okay, okay, don't cry. Father Xiong is a little anxious because he is worried about your tone."
"No, don't blame Wei An?" he asked with sobs.
"Don't blame me." How could I bear to blame him when I was too heartbroken to do so? He just said those two harsh words with great pressure.
Hearing that his father didn't blame him, Wei'an smiled instantly, and patted Alhandra's shoulder with his little hand, "Don't worry, father. The other bugs can't see Wei'an."
Seeing his reaction, Alhandra knew that he was pretending to cry and asked with a smile, "Then can your female father see you?"
Wei An thought about it and nodded, "I can see it."
"Where is your uncle?" he continued to ask.
“Yes.”
"Where's your brother?"
“Yes.”
"Can everyone who is related by blood see it?" Alhandra guessed.
"Yeah." Wei An nodded.
"How are you going to go back like this?" he asked with rare curiosity.
"I'll go back after I wake up tomorrow." Wei An said honestly.
Although he didn't understand the reason, Alhandra would be lying if he said he was unhappy.
He held Wei An in his arms and rubbed his chin against his head.
Being separated from Wei An was a torment for him.
"How long have you been coming to see me secretly like this?" he asked.
"More than a month."
It seems that all the abnormalities he noticed in the past month were due to him!
"Since you could come to see me quietly, why did you cry when I left?" Alhandra asked with a raised eyebrow.
You know, when he learned from Quan Yan that Wei'an was crying loudly after he left, he felt really bad and even had the urge to go back.
Wei An rubbed his chest shyly, "I just want to cry. I don't want to be separated from my father Xiong."
Alhandra smiled and reached out to pinch his face.
He understood that even though he knew they would meet again sooner or later, the pain at the moment of separation would still be unavoidable.
"Then why didn't you tell me on the first night, but instead hid secretly for a month?" He narrowed his eyes and his tone was hinted at danger.
"Because I'm afraid that after Xiong's father finds out, he will call my brother back. I know that my brother was called by Xiong's father to accompany me. And Wei'an worked very hard to come to Xiong's father's side." His tone changed from humble to self-righteous, until at the end it was mixed with a hint of pampering, "So Xiong's father can't blame Wei'an, nor can he call my brother back."
It was because he felt sad at the thought that Xiong's father would be gone for a long time, that he subconsciously broke the knife and placed it on the mecha when repairing Xiong's father's mecha. His subconscious mind told him that this would allow him to protect Xiong's father when he was in danger, and he could also use the knife to get to Xiong's father's side.
Seeing his little look, Alhandra felt angry and soft-hearted. What could he do? He had raised him by himself, so of course he could only accept it. "Okay, I won't call my brother back."
"Where did we end the last story?" he asked after agreeing.
"Well, it's about Xiao Shu falling into the water and meeting a big water beast." Wei An said with a very good memory.
"Xiao Shu, who fell into the water and struggled, didn't expect that there was a huge water beast hiding under the water and approaching him..."
In the room on the warship, Alhandra's gentle and low voice was heard, continuing the bedtime story that he had not finished before leaving last time.
